Board Chairman of Hearts of Oak, Togbe Afede XIV, has confirmed plans to build a 25,000-capacity stadium.<\/p>\n

Despite the recent struggle on the pitch, the Rainbow Club is close to completing the Pobiman Complex which has player hostels and training facilities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The playing body\u00a0is currently using some\u00a0aspects of the training facility as they prepare for the start of the 2023\/24 Ghana Premier League season.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the Pobiman is done, the only thing we don\u2019t have is a big stadium,\u201d Togbe said during a meeting with stakeholders.<\/p>\n

\u201cCAF requires a minimum 25,000 capacity stadium. After all this, that is what we want to do. I can assure you that the board, as visionary and future-oriented as it is, has already started looking for land for that stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are ticking all the boxes but it is not easy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The club is also looking to complete their Secretariat in the coming months.<\/p>\n

Hearts of Oak missed out on a place in the top four of the Premier League last season, surviving relegation on the last day of the season.<\/p>\n

However, the Phobians\u00a0will open their 2023\/24 Ghana Premier League campaign with an away game against Heart of Lions at the Aliu Mahama Stadium.<\/p>\n
